Itinerary:

The meeting time will be 10:15am & will head out by 10:30am sharp!

This will be a *moderate* paced hike with only a few stops along the way & approximately 10km.

From the meeting spot at Kinsmen Park (on the west side of the tennis courts), we will head east past Queen Elizabeth Park to the Cloverdale footbridge, cross over to the north side of the river, loop back around past Louise McKinney Park, up the stairs at the Royal Glenora Club, & head back to our cars. If by the time we get to the top of the stairs at the Royal Glenora Club & we are early, we may extend the walk further along towards Victoria Park then head back to the cars.

The terrain will be snow covered paths with a potential of icy sections plus there will be a few hills along the way plus the stairs at the Royal Glenora Club.

Optional - Afterwards we can head off somewhere for some lunch.

I will be wearing a yellow EOC hat & driving a burgandy Toyota Rav 4.
